Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 103 The First Meeting of the Senate (2)

Davis’s proposal has been recognized by everyone, especially the new citizens. They are completely new to Amendola’s laws. How can they control the litigation? Nowadays, foreigners such as mercenaries have poured into Amendola for a long time. There will definitely be a conflict with the locals, and Cornelius, as a candidate recognized by both parties, should be able to coordinate this conflict.

Cornelius smiled bitterly: within half a day, his position as governing adjutant was removed. Although the jurisdiction of the city chief executive is greater than this newly established adjutant, the adjutant is the governor after all. The deputy has a bit of checks and balances, and the Chief Executive of the City is a subordinate of the ruling officer.But Daveus now has complete control of the senate, and it seems that although he is young, he seems to be familiar with the politics. Even Rafaias thinks that he is more suitable for this position, and what else can he say.

"I am willing to be the chief executive of the city!" At this moment, he also completely softened.

Daveus glanced at him and said with a smile: "Of course, Cornelius, you have a lot of affairs, especially city-state order. So, we should give you a suitable patrol captain."

He said, looking at other people: "Here is the election of the patrol captain. Although this is a low-level position, most of you do not have the experience of holding city-state public office. I suggest that you start from the bottom and accumulate experience. Everyone here, Seniors, including seniors, can recommend themselves!"

The words of Davers made everyone think about it.

"Admiral, the patrol leader had already been served!" Cornelius reminded.

"Oh, who is it?"

"Antikris, he also served as the fire captain. During his tenure, he was praised by the citizens. He was only cut off by the Lukalia, and his right hand is now healed."

"Since he was injured, once a conflict occurs, he can't deter the troublemakers. Let him be the chief of the fire brigade. Fire and disaster relief is a big thing for city-state citizens, especially Amendolara. Fire and debris flows are terrible disasters, so the fire brigade leader has a heavy responsibility. It really needs experienced and capable citizens to act! I suggest adding a fire deputy fire captain. You can also recommend yourself and learn how to prevent disasters." Davers Solemnly said.

"Master Sir, it makes sense." Cornelius had to admit that Davers had a very deep understanding of the importance of the fire brigade in the mountain town of Amendolara, and he certainly would not know, In his previous life, Davers had been a village official in a mountain village.

"So, who wants to be the patrol captain?" Daveus said as soon as he fell, and immediately stood up with two people, Sesta and Hilos, and several more people.

Daveus thought for a while and said: "Sesta, the new citizen has the largest number of original mercenaries who have participated in the Persian expedition. These soldiers have killed and looted in Persia... everything has been done, and there is a military law in the barracks. Be in control. Now I am back in the city. I’m afraid I’m not used to it, and something will happen. You’re not familiar with them. I’m afraid they won’t obey you.

"Master Sir, please rest assured! I will assist Lord Cornelius and maintain order in the city!" Hilos made a promise.

Daveus turned his head and asked, "Cornerus, what do you think?"

"I agree." Cornelius did not hesitate. He had already seen that Davos was determined to hold the city-state's usual position with a little force in his own hands.

Sesta did not show disappointment, but instead asked again: "Then I applied to serve as the deputy fire captain!"

"Yes, I have no objection." Daveus nodded and was willing to do something good.

Naturally, the appointment of the two also passed smoothly.

"Is there an Ombudsman next?" Daphes asked.

"Yes." Cornelius just nodded and saw most people laugh.

Daveus explained to Cornelius, who was a little puzzled: "When we were in Persia, there was a Spartan Ombudsman who led hundreds of Spartan fighters to fight alongside us, so they thought they were right The post is a bit familiar. However, I think Sparta and Amendolara’s inspector must be very different."

"Why?" Olivers asked in the back row.

"Because the power of the Spartan Ombudsman is so great that they can supervise their kings, the duties of the Prosecutor of Amendola should not reach this level." Daphes explained, of course, even if he had before, he would not Let this happen.

"Can the king be supervised?!" Oliver and some others expressed a surprised expression.

And Cornelius was no longer surprised why Davies knew so much, he began to believe some rumors of mercenaries: Daves is a lord of God!

"The Ombudsman of Amendolara is mainly responsible for reviewing the list of elders, supervising the elders’ late arrival and early departure during meetings of the elders, supervising the ethics of city-state citizens, conducting civic investigations, reviewing the expenditure of city-state public property, and managing public projects... "Cornerus finished speaking, and everyone took a sigh of relief: The power of the prosecutor of Amendora is also great!

Seeing that everyone was eager to move, Daphes said: "Please note that it is not easy to be a good ombudsman. First, you must write a report, and second, you must be able to count and understand the financial report." Davers did not In fact, it doesn’t matter if the Ombudsman is illiterate and can’t count, as long as his slaves can, but like this, a slave who can read, write, and count is a high-end commodity in the slave market, and most people can’t afford it and can’t afford it .

Hearing this, most people dismissed their thoughts. Most of the new citizens were born in poverty. It is good to know a few words. Writing reports and checking accounts is a luxury.However, there are still people standing up from the recommendation, Antonios, Alexis, and the two nobles of Amendolara, Rafaias and Stromboli.

The two company captains at the same time recommended themselves, and Davers was not partial, so everyone in the venue voted on these four candidates, and Antonios won in the end. The reason is very simple: Davers promoted almost all the members of the original Hilos team. When he became a team officer, and the Hilos team was under the control of Antonios, he had a high emotional quotient, so he naturally had the most votes.

"Alexis, don't be discouraged. This position is one-year election. By next year, maybe it's your turn." Davies comforted jokingly.

Alexis was not frustrated, but instead smiled: "I don't have to wait that long, I will wait for Anthony to stop, I will pick up again."

Antonio glared: "Am I that bad!"

The new citizens laughed, while the old citizens, such as Rafaias, were silent, and Daveus looked at them.

"In addition, we also have a finance officer who is responsible for managing the treasury, collecting taxes, and public property, such as stone mines, and is also responsible for the management of the city-state population."

Cornelius's voice had just fallen, Mercis stood up, and Rafaias also stood up immediately.

In order to enliven the atmosphere, Davers said with a smile: "Oliver, why don't you recommend yourself?"

Oliver shook his head vigorously: "As soon as I mentioned the calculation, I had a headache. In case the tax collection was less, the inspector found out that I would lose money, but I couldn't afford it."

Everyone laughed again.

"I think Mercis is the most suitable for this position. Before he managed the camp, the accounts of money and materials were very clear. There was basically no shortage and greed, and no one complained about him..." Olivers continued.

If you re-vote again, you will definitely be the original mercenary again. In this way, although you have achieved the goal of complete control of Amendolara, it is also not conducive to the unity of the city-state.Therefore, Davers thought about it and said to Cornelius: "I think there can be another census officer. The finance officer is only responsible for financial taxation. The census officer is responsible for the management of the population, citizens, citizens' families, and even slaves and liberated slaves. All the free citizens from abroad are under their jurisdiction, and the Registrar’s affairs are now very burdensome, because there are thousands of new citizens to register, and in the future, it may be busier. I recommend Mercis as the financial officer , Rafias served as the household registration officer."
